Credentials

Online Credential Display Process

Effective September 1, 2008, regardless of the date an application may have been received, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (Commission) will only provide credentials, certificates, and permits through an online view and print process. The Commission will no longer print and mail these documents; as they will be available online to colleges, universities, employers and the document holder within 48 hours of issuance at: https://teachercred.ctc.ca.gov/teachers/PersonalSearchProxy
